Java Engineer

As a Java Engineer, your main responsibilities include designing, developing, and maintaining Java-based applications and microservices. This involves writing clean and efficient code, participating in code reviews, collaborating with product managers to refine requirements, and troubleshooting software issues. Since we focus on building high-quality software that meets our customers' needs, your role will also include developing and maintaining RESTful APIs and working with relational databases like MySQL.

To be considered for the Java Engineer position, candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field and at least 5 years of experience in Java software development. A strong understanding of object-oriented programming principles, proficiency with Java, Spring framework, Git version control, and experience in microservices architecture are crucial for this role. Effective communication and problem-solving skills are also essential.

At our company, we deeply value your career development. As a Java Engineer, you can expect mentoring opportunities, participation in architectural discussions, and the chance to lead code reviews. We encourage ongoing learning through training programs and provide an environment that fosters professional growth. We're committed to helping you advance your skills, so you can keep up-to-date with the latest Java technologies and career trends.

With our hybrid work model, Java Engineers are expected to be onsite at least three days a week, which allows for effective collaboration and team building while also offering flexibility. During onsite days, you will have the chance to engage more directly with your team members, participate in meetings, and contribute to collaborative projects, while having the option to work from home the rest of the week.

Our company culture for Java Engineers is collaborative, inclusive, and supportive. We believe in the power of teamwork and open communication, where every idea is valued. You'll work alongside talented professionals who are passionate about technology and innovation. We also prioritize diversity and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and can thrive in our workplace.
